Palmy Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 hey evryone, i am new to the rolla club and am jus gettin the drift of this so bear with me. i have a 1974 KE55 corolla and i have jus decided to fix it up, the prob is that when i try to start it, it is simply not starting. there is no carby gasket on it which i know prob don't help but that is not the problem. the engine was degreased a lil while back and the distributor was covered but i don't kno where else water could have got in to fuk it. Could it b to do with the carby? please help as i don't want and don't have the money to spend big on repairs!! :n: Quote
Clapped out Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) mmmmmmmm, id be definatly putting that carby gasket in first! what gasket is it exactly? any thing missing a gasket to do with the carby=vaccum leak, you checked the points and checked to see if there is spark? ps. 1974+ke55=no match.

Medicine_Man Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Get an air compressor and blow out any water that may be in the spark plug galleys and in the distributer/distributer cap. Also make sure no water has gone into the cylinders if you have no gasket on the carby.. Quote
Palmy Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 lol thought i would stuff up somewhere. its the gasket that is between the carby and bottom bit if u get me? i don't really kno carby's very well. but I'm tryin 2 find a gasket for it.... well the small fuel chamber is on the bottom part and the top part has the float and the gasket is in between those 2 parts lol. i will try with the air compressor as that may help a fair bit. thanks fellas Quote
